Atypical developmental remodeling of dopamine neurons involves AKT-GSK3β signaling and glia activity

Xiaofan Zhang, Wei Chen, Yayu Wang, Xun Tu, Xiangyu Zhang, Ronald L. Davis, Lily Yeh Jan, Yuh Nung Jan

The paper identifies an atypical axon overgrowth followed by pruning in Drosophila dopamine neurons, involving AKT-GSK3β signaling and glia activity, distinct from canonical developmental remodeling.
